Long, Funky, Prom Hairstyles

Lindsay Lohan Red, Wavy Half Updo

Lindsay Lohan's half updo is a little bit country, a little bit rock 'n' roll, and perfect for wavy or curly hair. To get the look:1. Work a bit of curling lotion through damp hair and blow dry with a diffuser, scrunching any natural waves to make the most of them.2. Using a wet comb and some gel, slick hair back on the front and sides, poofing hair up at the crown (you can tease it to get the job done) for a heightened effect.3. Pin hair in place with bobby pins and set with strong-hold hairspray.

Kim Kardashian Half Updo for Prom

Kim Kardashian's long half updo hairstyle is fierce for straight hair and will stay put through hours of dancing. Steal her style:1. Start by sectioning off hair into two parts: the top half of your head in a horseshoe shape and the bottom half, which you will leave alone for now.2. Apply an ample amount of strong hold gel or molding cream to your horseshoe shape and tease the hair, starting at the back of your head and working your way forwards until you reach the inch before your forehead.3. With fine tooth comb, brush that remaining inch over your teased section and start sculpting back, spraying with strong hold hairspray as you mold into shape.4. Slick back the sides of your hair and pin back underneath the ends of the teased section, hiding the bobby pins.5. Twist a couple large sections from the bottom half of your hair around the barrel of a curling iron. Spray with hairspray as needed.
